Double Header! Famous for Thirty Minutes Today!

How appropriate that on baseball's Opening Day the Idiosyncratic Fashionstas played a Doubleheader and hit two out of the park!

We appeared on New York City's WABC-TV's Eyewitness News this evening and on the radio on NPR this morning! Here's the scoop:

A few weeks ago, we were contacted by Kemberly Richardson of WABC-TV News, who asked to do a short interview with us.Television time is very valuable -- a 30-second Super Bowl commercial in 2013 will cost around $4 million per 30-second spot. So, we like to think our 2-minute piece is worth $16 million dollars! (Guess we could call that a "ball-park" figure!) On air reporter Kemberly does a fabulous job of asking great questions and packing the most possible information into the allotted time. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is our latest television appearance:

It was really fun to hear you two speak as you don't sound at all like I imagined! I check your blog everyday and because of it, I'm going to NYC. Hope to see you around the streets. Keep having all the fun you do! Peg

Always great to see you two doing what you do best - setting an example of growing old with pizazz, verve, and killer style! At first I couldn't figure out how there was a photograph of you on National Public Radio (it's radio?) then I saw the website...duh.Many congrats and backslapping on the double header!

How fun! You two put the v's in verve. It was so nice to meet you at the Atelier Show for the Artful Home collaboration. Thank you for wearing my jewelry with such style. I also love that you called it Eco-Deco! What a thrilling surprise to see it on your news segment. You two are the best! Hope to see you at the next show.

You two are great for my attitude. You both look a hundred times better--more feminine and elegant--than almost all the under-30's I see every day. This is my first time at your blog, but I'm coming back for more every time you dish it up! xxoo

You made my day here in Ohio where style is less abundant. I will walk proudly and give knowing glances and quick grins to the other 60+ fashionistas who know what we want. Thank you and continued success.

About Us

GROWING OLD WITH VERVE
‘Growing old gracefully’ is an outdated concept. We prefer ‘growing old with verve’. This blog documents our efforts to live up to that motto, in photos and essays. We embrace our gray hair, while sharing the playground nicely with our younger siblings. Bette Davis was right when she said 'growing old is not for sissies', but it’s also not one of Dante’s circles of hell. Idiosyncratic Fashionistas explores what’s out there for Women of a Certain Age, comments on what’s not out there, and demonstrates that our overlooked demographic is still fabulous.
